"My
father, C.L. Wood was the CL Woods you have listed as one of the
Warrant Officers at Nagoya Camp #7-B. He was with Col. Stubbs
throughout most of the war. He was a veteran of six camps. As a Warrant
Officer, he was in charge of a portion of the men at this camp. Also
the Japanese allowed him to keep a small notebook to help keep track of
who was in his charge and take some notes. It consists of about 70
pages, listing names of the men he was responsible for, their number,
some details about their duties, and a few misc notes. He mentioned the
death, time and date of C.S. Uckerman. I also have copies of two
debriefings in which he mentions the American bombing of Toyama.

"I'm
also sending a copy of a debriefing done in 1947 and a three-page
statement I got that I think was done shortly after he got back. I'll
include a pic of an arm band, and wood tag written in Japanese [which
say "Leader"]. Also a letter my father received from Yoshiaki Komatsu
of Nippon Soda Company. Not sure of his position there. I assume they
knew each other from Nagoya 7B.

"Maj Mike Dobervich was one of,
I think six POW's that escaped from, again, I think Davao. He and my
father were friends. My father probably would have gone out with them,
but was flat on his back with beriberi, amoebic dysentery, and malaria.
Barely survived. Maj Dobervich came to see my father the night before
they went out and gave him his dog tags, which my father carried for
the rest of the war and returned them to Dobervich after the war. I
have the official Marine photo of him returning them."

Caution:
In the compilation by Wes Injerd, the men from Yokkaichi (formerly
Osaka 17] were sent to Nagoya #5B. There were 4-5 camps all known by
the POWS simply as "Toyama".
Lt. Col Stubbs clearly identifies this as being Camp No. 7 and he is
listed on the camp rescue roster "Toyama." It is his
list that identifes the deceased at Yokkaichi.
